Take Two Review: Christmas in Vermont by Anita Hughes

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Take Two Review: Christmas in Vermont by Anita Hughes

Sometimes I accidentally pick up a book I have already read and don’t realize it until I am part way through.

I picked this one up again because I adored the cover and I am all about the holiday romances right now and I know that I love Anita Hughes so I grabbed this one and about a third of the way through I was like wait, this sounds familiar?

I checked my Goodreads and sure enough there it was….I read it last year! But I was enjoying it just as much this second time around so I just kept right on reading! I am so glad I got to read this one again though because it was just as much fun a second time around!

Special Feature: Truth, Lies, and Second Dates by MaryJanice Davidson

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Special Feature: Truth, Lies, and Second Dates by MaryJanice Davidson

Who doesn’t love a rom-com, especially during the holiday season?! While this book might not be holiday specific, it’s being released during the holidays and I for one love rom-coms all the more during the holiday season!

I am so excited to share a bit about this book with you all today. It’s out today. At first glance it doesn’t sounds like a typical rom-com—-I mean the main love interest is a medical examiner and the plot centers around a cold case murder, but I have high hopes for this one being a rom-com.

Many reviewers have noted that the characters are witty and bring humor to what would normally be a serious story so I am excited to see how this one comes together and if it is indeed a rom-com of the nontraditional variety but a rom-com all the same! Alway it’s out now and I would love to hear what you all think, I know this is going on my TBR!

Review: A Heartfelt Christmas Promise by Nancy Naigle

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: A Heartfelt Christmas Promise by Nancy Naigle

Just about every holiday season, I read one of Nancy Naigle’s holiday romances and I have never been disappointed. It’s like reading a Hallmark Movie, you just know without a doubt that you are going to read something sweet, fun, romantic, and full of holiday cheer!

When this book was released in October, I just didn’t have room on my calendar to review it. But this year I did something I never do. I left my December calendar really open so that I could read a bunch of holiday romances!

And this one was at the top of my list to read! I could easily have finished it in a day but then of course life got in the way so it took me a couple of days to read, but I was happy because that meant I got to drag it out a little more and enjoy all the wonderful words inside a little longer!

Take Two Review: The Art of Theft (Lady Sherlock #4) by Sherry Thomas

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Take Two Review: The Art of Theft (Lady Sherlock #4) by Sherry Thomas

I read this book last October and at that time, I was not really into the Lady Sherlock series. I just couldn’t get into the first book but then this one came up and I was intrigued and wanted to give it another go.

When I read it, I really enjoyed it much more than the first book. While I hadn’t read the other books in the series, I didn’t feel overly lost and thought it was a fun diverting mystery.

I ultimately decided to go back and re-read the series, but it wasn’t too high up on my reading priority list but then I read the fifth book this year and was compelled to go back and start the series from the beginning. So as we go into the holiday season, that was exactly what I did, read the books from beginning to end.

Review: The Hollow of Fear (Lady Sherlock #3) by Sherry Thomas

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: The Hollow of Fear (Lady Sherlock #3) by Sherry Thomas

I am 100% a mood reader and when I started this series I just wasn’t feeling it at all, which bothered me. By all accounts this should have been a series that I would love and I just didn’t when I read the first book the first time.

But I decided after reading one of the later books in the series, that I maybe hadn’t given this series the chance that it deserved. So I went back and re-read the first book and for whatever reason, found it much more enjoyable this time around.

So here I am on the third book in the series and I am 100% hooked on it. I think this is my favorite in the series so far. Even over some of the later books. I loved this one and couldn’t put it down!
